Topic: Weekend difficult Q (Read 1005 times)

Ok..I have been trying for two weeks to figure this one out...It is a double overlay weight in white overlayed with a beige/khaki/light brown colour. Bottom of weight has a millefiori "bubble". Each window has the typical rim (white) of overlayed work.The trick is that it has only four (4) windows plus one on the top, having searced far and wide I cannot find a 4 +1 weight to compare with. I love this weigth but want more info or at least a good idea before buying it.Anyone want to volunteer an idea?Sorry no picture!

Sorry KevH the "bubble" isone of my technical terms . If you look through the top facet the millefiori in the bottom looks like the mushroom type you would find but only the cap of the mushroom. Or to put it differently, the faceted weigts that I have seen the millefiori tends to look flat but this one it looks more rounde, almost like in a traditional weight.

Whilst this weight has 5 side facets - is that what you describe as "millefiori bubble"?

Click on images for larger view. The last image is the view through the base - ground but not polished, and therefore a bit blurred.I believe this weight to be Murano - but am not sure.Best regards - Wolf
